children do not hang the strap over their necks.
• Do not look directly at the sun through the camera with a telephoto lens
attached, as viewing the sun may damage your eyes. Viewing the sun
directly with a telephoto lens may lead to a loss of eyesight.
• Be sure to store the batteries out of the reach of children. Placing in mouth
may cause an electrical shock.
• Always use the AC adapter exclusively developed for this product, with the
specified power and voltage. Using an AC adapter not exclusive to this
product, or using the exclusive AC adapter with an unspecified power or
voltage can cause a fire, electric shock, or camera breakdown.
• If any irregularities occur during use, such as smoke or a strange odor, stop
use immediately, remove the batteries or the AC adapter, and contact your
nearest PENTAX Service Center. Continued use could cause a fire or
electric shock.
• During thunderstorms, unplug and discontinue use of the AC adapter.
Continued use could cause equipment failure, a fire, or electric shock.
2
Caution
• Do not short the batteries or dispose of the batteries in fire. Do not
disassemble the batteries. The batteries could explode or catch fire.
• Of the batteries that can be used in this camera (AA Ni-MH batteries, AA
lithium batteries and AA alkaline batteries), only the Ni-MH batteries can be
recharged. Recharging other batteries can cause a fire or explosion.
• Remove the batteries from the camera immediately if they become hot or
begin to smoke. Be careful not to burn yourself during removal.
• Some portions of the camera heat up during use. There is the risk of low
temperature burns when holding such portions for long periods.
• Do not place your finger over or cover the flash with clothing when
discharging the flash. Fingers or clothing may be burned.
• To reduce the risk of hazards, use only CSA/UL Certified power supply cord
set, cord is Type SPT-2 or heavier, minimum NO.18 AWG copper, one end
with a molded-on male attachment plug cap (with a specified NEMA
configuration), and the other is provided with a molded-on female connector
body (with a specified IEC nonindustrial type configuration) or the equivalent.
PRECAUTIONS FOR BATTERY USAGE
• Only use the specified batteries with this camera. Use of other batteries can
cause a fire or explosion.
• Replace all the batteries at the same time. Do not mix battery brands, type
or an old battery with a new one. It may cause explosion or a fire.
• The batteries should be inserted correctly with regard to polarity (+ and –)
marked on the batteries and the camera. Not inserting batteries correctly
may cause explosion or a fire.
• Do not disassemble the batteries. Of the batteries that can be used in this
camera, only the Ni-MH batteries can be recharged. Disassembling the
batteries or attempting to charge non-rechargeable batteries could result in
explosion or leakage.
Care to be Taken During Handling
• When traveling, take the Worldwide Service Network that is included in the
package. This will be useful if you experience problems abroad.
• When the camera has not been used for a long time, confirm that it is still
working properly, particularly prior to taking important pictures (such as at a
wedding or during traveling). Pictures cannot be guaranteed if recording,
playback or transferring your data to a computer, etc. is not possible due to
a malfunction of your camera or recording media (SD Memory Card), etc.
• Do not clean the product with organic solvents such as thinner or alcohol
benzene.
• Do not subject the camera to high temperatures or high humidity. Do not
leave the camera in a vehicle, as the temperature can get very high.
• Do not store the camera with preservatives and chemicals. Storage in high
temperatures and high humidity can cause mold to grow on the camera.
Remove from the case and store in a dry and well-ventilated location.
• Do not subject the camera to strong vibrations, shocks, or pressure. Use a
cushion to protect the camera from vibrations of motorcycles, automobiles,
or ships.
• The temperature range for camera use is 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F).
• The LCD display may appear black under high temperatures, but will return
to normal as temperatures normalize.
• The LCD display may respond more slowly at low temperatures. This is due
to liquid crystal properties, and is not a fault.
• Periodic inspections are recommended every one to two years to maintain
high performance.
• Sudden temperature changes will cause condensation on the inside and
outside of the camera. Place the camera in your bag or a plastic bag,
removing the camera after temperature of the camera and surroundings are
equalized.
• Avoid contact with garbage, mud, sand, dust, water, toxic gases, or salts.
These could cause a camera breakdown. Wipe dry any rain or water drops
on the camera.
• Refer to “Precautions When Using the SD Memory Card” (p.42) regarding
the SD Memory Card.
• Use a lens brush to remove dust accumulated on the lens or viewfinder.
Never use a spray blower for cleaning as it may damage the lens.
• Please contact PENTAX Service Center for professional cleaning of the
CCD. (This will involve a fee.)
• Please do not press forcefully on the monitor. This could cause breakage or
malfunction.
• Depending on a user's physical condition, some users may experience
itching, break out in a rash or suffer from eczema. If an abnormality occurs,
immediately discontinue using the camera and seek medical attention.

x Camera Characteristics
• Features a 23.5×15.7 mm CCD with approximately 10.2 million effective
pixels for high precision and a wide dynamic range.
• Features Shake Reduction (SR), an image sensor shifting shake
1
reduction system. This enables you to capture sharp pictures with
Before Using Your Camera
minimal camera shake regardless of the lens type.
• Features an AF sensor with 11 focusing points. The central 9 are wide
cross area sensors.
• Features a viewfinder similar to that of a conventional 35 mm camera,
with a magnification of approximately 0.85 and field of view of
approximately 96%, for easier manual focusing. Also features a
superimpose function in which the AF points on the viewfinder illuminate
red.
• Features a large 2.7-inch monitor with approximately 230,000 dots, a
wide viewing angle and brightness adjusting function for high-precision
viewing performance.
• Uses AA lithium batteries, rechargeable AA Ni-MH batteries or AA
alkaline batteries.
• A user-friendly design has been implemented in various parts of the
camera. The large text, high-contrast monitor and easy-to-use menus
make the camera easier to operate.
• Dials, buttons, body joints, and retractable parts of the camera are
splash and dust resistant.
• The CCD features a special SP coating against dust deposit. The Dust
Removal function also shakes the CCD for removing collected dust.
• Supports the optional Battery Grip D-BG3 with the vertical shutter
release button. If batteries are inserted in both the camera and grip, the
battery set with more power is prioritized. This enables you to get the
best camera performance for an extended period. A menu item also
allows you to prioritize a battery set and use its full power before
switching to the other.
• Features Custom Image which allows you to adjust settings while
previewing the edited image, enabling a wider range of expression.
• Records in the versatile JPEG format or the high quality and fully
editable RAW format. You can also select JPEG+RAW and record in
both formats. Pictures taken in RAW format can be easily processed
internally by the camera.
• Features Hyper-program and Hyper-manual modes that let you take
pictures flexibly with the intended exposure. Also features Sensitivity
Priority mode K that automatically adjusts aperture and shutter speed
according to the set sensitivity.
The captured area (view angle) will differ between the x and 35 mm
SLR cameras even if the same lens is used because the format size for 35 mm
film and CCD are different.
Sizes for 35 mm film and CCD
35 mm film : 36×24 mm
x CCD : 23.5×15.7 mm
Angles of view being equal,
must be approximately 1.5 times longer than that of
of view framing the same
Example) To capture the same image as a 150 mm lens attached to a 35 mm
camera
150÷1.5=100
Use a 100 mm lens with the x.
Inversely, multiply the focal length of the lens used with x by 1.5 to
determine the focal length for 35 mm cameras.
Example) If 300 mm lens is used with x
300×1.5=450
Focal length is equivalent to a 450 mm lens on a 35 mm camera.

. To obtain an angle
Shake Reduction (SR)
Shake Reduction (SR) on the x features a PENTAX original
system which uses magnetic force to move the image sensor at high
speeds, compensating camera shake.
The camera may generate some operating noise when it is shaken, such
as when changing the composition of a picture. It is not a malfunction.
